The HIPS AGaiN (Hidden in Plain Sight AGaiN) team will be using archival surveys for stellar variability to detect variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the background.
I have already talked to my department about adding an astronomy research class to our class choices next year and they are very enthusiastic.
Since starting with NITARP, my Astronomy Research Course has grown by leaps and bounds. Much of this has to do with conversation I have and connections I make at the AAS each year.
I love having this experience of seeing how astronomers work, and my goal is to then take that and be able to explain it to our students.
